Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that represents the fourth largest cause of hospitalization in Brazil. For this reason, the present work seeks to describe the distribution of asthma hospitalizations in Brazil and their temporal trend between 2008 and 2018. For this purpose, asthma hospitalization data were collected in Brazil between 2008-2018 extracted from DATASUS. The Joinpoint software was then used to analyze trends. A total of 1,567,952 asthma hospitalizations were reported, with a significant downward trend in both genders, all regions and age groups. There was a predominance of cases in the Northeast region and in children and adolescents. The decrease in asthma hospitalizations in Brazil may probably be related to improvements in access to health services, such as the free distribution of drugs for the treatment of the disease. The data showed that asthma hospitalizations have been decreasing, being more prevalent in children and adolescents and residents of the Northeast region. It is hoped that this data can help in health planning and resource allocation.
